Dealing with ever-changing project environments

You are part of a project team. You work on projects all the time, even on multiple projects simultaneously. Even with your experience, each new project brings about the same challenges: locating project documentation, exchanging information with the project team or simply keeping abreast of project developments.

The way you receive project information always changes resulting in costly errors and taking valuable time to rectify. Continuous changes reduce productivity, increase project risk and cause ongoing frustration. 

PM Box: The consistent, predictable and productive project environment

 How does PM Box deliver?

• PM Box project sites provide each team member with a Personalised Project Dashboardclearly displaying currently assigned tasks, issues and recent documentation. A glance at the project home page gives summarised view of the latest project information
• Project Documentation Library has predictable structure with consistent file naming convention and file versioning. Project teams can easily see where documents are located and if they are up to date.
• In addition to the main project library, each project site comes with additional document librariesto address different content and security requirements allowing teams to organise their own contentand store it in a central, secure location
• Central project calendaris available to keep the entire team informed of major project events and milestones
• Team Whereaboutstable is open to everyone to announce their own (or colleagues’) presence and location
• The Team Discussion Boardallows rapid sharing of project questions and answers turning them into valuable knowledge. Posts quickly evolve into a searchable Q&A repository providing answers to recurring project questions
• Project blogs and wikisprovide valuable insights into the project and can grow into fully searchable knowledge bases (Remember, knowledge bases containing subject matter expertise are not just for one project. They become invaluable for future projects, too)
• SharePoint^®search that works. Organised site content and document metadata means better and more relevant search results
• Subscribing to automatic notificationsfrom the project site brings all relevant content updates directly to your inbox

Using the tools you know

In addition to the tools PM Box provides for each project site, you can continue to use the MS Office^® products (Microsoft^® Word^®, Excel^®, PowerPoint^®, etc…) that you are already familiar with. You can remain highly productive without having to learn too many new things.
